My local dealer, from whom I bought my Pacifica, has quoted me WAY HIGH. They're getting in what must be a Touring because it has Nav, Power Third Row,Ent. Group 3, Sirius backseat TV,Trailer Tow Group and Flexible Seating. Quoted me a selling price (before TTL etc) of $41810. I priced it on Edmunds and get roughly $35+. Are they getting so much over MSRP on these? I just don't see myself paying that much for and Minivan. |

Replying to: johnbrain (Oct 23, 2007 7:54 am) Configure what you want on Edmunds, print it out and take that to the dealer. You two may be on different tracks of what he thinks you wanted. Also, chrysler.com has a Build Your Own link where you can configure what you want right down to the color and shows you what that color looks like on the minivan. If the dealer tries to sell it for even a dime over MSRP contact any blue collar Chrysler employee for a green sheet discount. We are allowed to give out two per year to non-relatives.

Replying to: johnbrain (Oct 23, 2007 7:54 am) Here is an example of what you can expect to save if you get an employee control number. A 2008 T&C Limited with no other options has an MSRP of $36,400, including $730 destination. The employee discount and $1,000 cash allowance would bring that down to $31,320, for a savings of $5,080. The $1,000 cash allowance expires on 10/31/07. Let me know if I can be of further help. To anyone else reading this who is interested in a similar discount, there are over 40,000 blue collar Chrysler workers in the U.S. Ask around and I'm sure you can find a friend of a friend who works for them. They do not have to be a relative. They should be more than happy to give you a control number to promote the product.

Replying to: tedebear (Oct 24, 2007 12:09 am) It all comes down to this: how aggressive are dealers willing to make an offer. If one takes time to do their homework, there are deals out there. But if someone does their homework and is fortunate to have access to an ECN, boy have you got yourself a deal! |

| I purchased a town country touring with the special edition package consisting of leather-dvd player-gps-trailer tow package-lets just say its loaded its sticked out at just under $36,000 not much less then a limited's base price. questioned why anyone would order and purchase a touring when they could get most everything this has on it for a limited price until I found out it was a sales mans personal van that he special ordered and drove as a demo. He didn't like the body cladding or the chrome wheels but did like the two tone leather better with the special edition package. I ended up purchasing his demo for an out the door price of $26,783.00 it had 4,987 miles on it. The sales people at this dealership have to purchase "make payments" on their demo and once it gets close to the 5,000 miles park it if they drive it over that 5,000 mile mark the company "Chysler" conciders it used anything under can be sold as a new vechical minis the 5,000 miles and the in service date it was entered into the demo system that is highly discounted with the owner purchaser getting the remaining warrenty less the under 5,000 miles it had been driven. Its treated as new plus any thing the saleman had added such as running boards for example are warrenteed for 12 months-12,000 miles because they are a Mopar option. My Brother purchased a touring without nearly the options as my t&c it stickering at about $31.000 with used the employee discount and still paid almost $4,500 more then I did. I now have just over 10,000 on it and am most satisfied. I had planned on purchasing a new 2008 but working in a auto factory myself I will hold out for another demo a couple years down the road when I know for sure the bugs are out of them. Maybe some one can find a 2008 demo at a large dealership and strike a very good deal as all rebates apply to them also as long as they are a Chysler owned vehical still they are like mine concidered new. cheers | |

Does the residual change with the negotiated price or is it a fixed figure? example using 50% residual. Would the residual be $15k on a $30k purchase price but $13k on a $26k negotiated price? or does residual value not move from a fixed dollar amount?
